thing that made me smile today (although it starts out sad)
after we were done serving lunch downstairs and had sent the food to the upstairs dining room, we got a phone call in the kitchen. i hate being the one to answer the phone, but this time i couldn't get out of it. 'dining services, this is melilot, how can i help you?'
it was the 2nd floor nurse. 'oh! you're here today. good. would you come up and give cornelius a little tlc? he's very upset and crying.'
of course i went running up. i laid my hand on his arm and said hello, and he turned to me and gave me the biggest smile. one last tear ran down his face, but he was happy to see me, and told me he loves me and was glad i was there, and i sat there for about 15-20 minutes chatting a bit, and just being there. the aides commented on what a change it was and how much he likes me and how much i like him. all i could say in reply is that he's my favorite.
